The Best Things about Writing College Essays

1) it's convenient way to formulate your thoughts and prove a point; 2) you can come down as hard as you need to in your arguments; it's your 'right', and hey, just get it out of your system cuz profs love strong papers; 3) you know at least one person will read it; 4) chances are, you'll express your idea well and get a good grade. As proof of these statements, an example. I recently wrote a very short essay on the differences between man and woman, emotionally and in society. It was the easiest thing; decide what aspects you want to examine, divide it up into successive points and write. Just spill out what you've been dying to shout out at your fellow students for weeks! :D As a result, my prof told me to go into journalism. Needless to say this surprised me; until I proof-read my neighbor's draft essay. Thank God for a cultured education! that's all I can say. But that is for another post.

I feel sorry for our History teacher. He has to read and grade close to 50 History papers - all over 10 pages long! :O

But you're right - the nice thing about papers for school is at least SOMEONE reads 'em. :D
